Sunoco on Everett Road robbed Sunday night

Police are investigating a robbery at the Sunoco gas station at the corner of Everett Road and Exchange Street in Albany late Sunday night.

One of the clerks who was on duty at the time told the Times Union that he and a female clerk were the only ones in the store when the alleged assailant told her he would shoot her if she did not give him money.

The male clerk, who only identified himself as Don, said the man got away with a “small” amount of cash. He said the man never showed a weapon but implied that he had one. Neither was injured.

The gas station is closed until police conclude their investigation and the cash register can be counted, the clerk said.

Police are looking for a male in his mid 40s who may have escaped by car to Interstate 90.
